Formulación de indicadores para el dimensionamiento de las reservas de suelo para la dotación de área verde: caso cabecera parroquial de Santa Ana

Abstract

The present research work includes the formulation of a group of interrelated indicators that collaborate in the dimensioning of green spaces in urban settlements. It was necessary to start from the container, the urban ecosystem and as a complementary look to see the city as a public space. It was also necessary to contextualize the legal framework that directly or indirectly influences the dimensioning of green spaces in urban planning processes. As a reference three experiences have been taken in the dimensioning of green spaces where the previous analysis has allowed to clarify the indicators used and their role in the planning instruments. The indicators formulated based on the methodological proposal are applied in one of the parishes of the canton of Cuenca itself, which has been chosen as one of the settlements that make up the nodes of the growth of the canton and which currently undergo growth processes based on Planning instruments available. The indicators found, their size and formulation are based on the application of the deductive method of research, taking as its main reference the physiological capacity of the plant species and their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, the latter, one of the main gases responsible for greenhouse effect.
